Michael Steintorf

Michael Steintorf manages Mayor Tommy Carcetti's administration by the numbers. With money for schools, police and social services leaking from ever-shrinking coffers, Steintorf knows how to invest city funds for the highest margin of political gain. But the chief of staff's gaming the system — like turning down state money for schools to protect Carcetti's gubernatorial run — looks a lot like selling out Baltimore's citizens in favor of advancing his career.
